SNOWTIME
Soon after arriving for a visit from California, Tony and Cathy gathered their children, Jaci and Garrett, with Peter and Eliza (cousins), and me (Grandma Barb) for a snow outing at Foothill Park.

And I'll huff and I'll puff, and maybe I'll make it to the top! This is exercise!
I'm sure glad I don't have to carry these discs myself, thinks Peter.
Ready, get set.... go!
Hurry up, Mom! You're in the way!
It was a great time to enjoy the fresh snow. Others were there too, but there was plenty of room for us. The snow was perfect, the air crisp and cold, but our snow suits were warm and we all felt toasty. The hills were steep and long. Armed with discs we tramped up and down, the children gleeful as they climbed the hills, slipping and sliding down sometimes before they even reached the top.

I was hoping I could climb these hills as easily as the children. (Tony doesn't count; he could climb Mt. Everest in an afternoon.)
Eliza doesn't trust the first run without a guide, and Tony, natch, is the best!
Garrett posed only twice for me. He was much too busy tramping up and down, racing and recovering to be bothered with photo shoots.
Cathy takes her first ride down the hill. Does it look this scarey to the children?
Too bad we don't have sound effects!!
Eliza can't wait for a disc.
This is too fun! Who can wait for a sled?
What's a little snow up the parka, after all?
Peter slows down for an instant to catch his breath. He has been working hard up and down this mountain.
Can we do this every day? Can we live here?Garret, the fearless daredevil, ready to start another long steep descent.
Is it legal for him to go that fast?
Hi, Grandma! Want to go down with me?
Did you see me that last time? It's so cool!
(No pun intended!)
This reminds me of a roller coaster. Are you sure my bod can take this? Besides, I barely fit.
Grandma, you were the fastest of all!
Of course. I always need more photos.
Always with camera. It beats words.
The end.

Totally fun photos, Mom. But I must say, only YOU would wear WHITE pants to go get dirty. Looks like a super fun day!!! Tiring, but FUN!
Great job again, Mom! Look at all of those photos you posted! It is fun to review that terrific day!
Mom, I don't know very many 68 year olds that would go sledding! You are awesome! It looks fun and so beautiful w/the snowy mountains. And Eliza going down on her bare tummy? OUCH!
Hello Auntie! Through a bit of nosing around, I came across your blog...
What a fun grandma you are-- so adventurous! I remember as a child going to visit grandma in Utah and sledding too, but never had the two combined!
Thanks for all the fun photos, now we know where Becca gets her talent! :)
Love, Cindy
